But now, one supermarket has relaunched the mince pie with its own take.

In a British supermarket first, the family favourite retailer Asda have launched completely vegan mince pies, catering to a diet previously untouched by supermarkets, as reported by the Mirror.

Free from all animal ingredients, the vegan mince pies are priced at 89p for a box of six - cheaper than all the other mince pies in Asda's range.

If you want them fresh, you can also pick up the vegan offerings in Asda's in store bakery, where they'll be available in 4 for £1, or £1.50 for 4 Extra Special Deep Fill.

While there are already a few technically vegan mince pies out there, such as Iceland's £1.75 version, these are the first festive pies to carry the official stamp of approval from the Vegan Society Trademark.
